Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Dears, thank you for your message. I travelled for work and holidays ( I had to leave the tank for 18 days) and got caught with life. I lost nearly all SPS not the LPS. At some point, I hesitated to upgrade the tank and go for FOWLR as I am still fighting high nitrate and high phosphate since day 1. I am more lucky with fishes, I lost the royal pencil during my holidays by UNWD. He stayed hidden 5 weeks but after he was all the time out. Since the SPS, I bought only 1 hammer, 1 anemone, 1 soft coral and 1 sixline and 2 anthias. Still doing weekly water sock changes. Tha tank as it is before today water change.

Sorry Remi!
Great to see you back and the tank's looking good nonetheless! :) :smiling-face:
 
Remi , the majority of people on this forum would still be envious of your tank, I know I am. Hang in there my friend. This hobby is full of ups and downs. I’ve been through my share and I know I have more to come. Just the name of the game.
